I am as of yet uncertain about the following one, mainly due to the title of the show alone.
Salvation does not strike me as a particularly secular word.

An MIT grad student and a tech superstar bring a low-level Pentagon official a staggering discovery that an asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth.

I stopped watching American Gods, but apparently Jesus makes an appearance in the finale of the show even though he never made an appearance in the book.

American Gods' Jesus Shows What Happens When a God Becomes Too Popular

When you first get into American Gods and begin to wrap your head around its central premise—that gods are real people who feed on human belief—there’s one god in particular who’s conspicuously missing from Neil Gaiman’s original book and most of the first season of Starz’s television adaptation: Jesus Christ.

That is, until the season finale.

In this week’s episode, “Come to Jesus,” we finally got a chance to properly meet the carpenter and learn what life is like when you’re one of the most famous gods in the world. Turns out, life’s kind of dull when you’re an (relatively) old god who’s managed to remain relevant in the modern age.

In Gaiman’s 2001 novel, there are a handful of passing references to Jesus, but the character never makes an appearance or directly interacts with anyone. Soon after Wednesday first convinces Shadow that the gods they’ve been meeting are in fact gods, Wednesday casually describes Jesus as the lucky son of a virgin who “could fall into a cesspit and come up smelling like roses.”

Later, Mr. Jacquel is the first to explain that there can be multiple manifestations of a single deity in different places, whose form changes to reflect the beliefs of its followers. For instance, as well off as the many American Jesuses are doing, Jacquel says, the Jesus of Afghanistan isn’t exactly faring too well.

Starz’s American Gods leans into the idea of multiple manifestations in a major way “Come To Jesus” when at least 12 different versions of Jesus travel to Easter’s estate to celebrate the holiday that they all share with one another.

“That’s a Jesus Christ. Jesus Christs,” Wednesday explains as Shadow begins to understand the truth.” For every belief, every branch, every denomination of Christianity, they see a different face when they close their eyes to pray.

But there are only three episodes in the season I have not watched, so I might just finish it up to see how it ends.
